Asia Cup 2008 : India thrash Pakistan….again

This is turning out to be something we have to get used to now. Barring an odd defeat in an odd final, India seems to have got the better of Pakistan these days. Anyway, this match wasn’t that boring for me not to report it, though it could have been better.

It all began in an all too familiar fashion. A feeling of déjà vu, you might say. As Dropmal was dropped, skip Malik decided to end his ruefully bad form by opening the innings and batting even more ruefully till the time he saw Ishant Sharma’s face. 26/0 in 10 overs sure tells a tale. They managed to get 299 eventually as Malik finally got a century (you can always trust India’s bowling).

In walked GG and Viru. Out walked Umar Gul, soon to be followed by GG. What was Dhoni thinking, to send Raina at 3? Whatever it was, it worked. He scored 84 at a SR of 120. And yeah, Sehwag got a ton. And India won in 42 overs. Duh, this is repetitive.

P.S. The new guy is worse. Bring Dropmal back
